A Great Opportunity

General Conference is coming up next weekend. We are so blessed to get to enjoy General Conference every six months.
We should also be checking in on our food storage and 72 hour kits every six months. Why not make it a General Conference weekend tradition. Eat the foods that are nearing the end of their shelf lives and replace them with something new. Make sure that all of the clothing in each person's 72 hour kit still fits them. Put a current family picture in each person's 72 hour kit.
If your family is already enjoying this fun family tradition, then keep up the good work! If you have another idea that is working well for you, then please share it with the rest of us.

BACKPACKS

If you don't have andy designated bags or containers toi store your 72 hour kits in.............now is a great time to buy backpacks. Now that school has started they are going on sale everywhere. An ideal backpack for 72 hour kit storage would be a waterproof one. There are many waterproof backpacks out there that are made for hiking and camping. COSTCO has had some for sale there recently. They can be expensive though. If they are not in the budget get what you can, what works for you. If you opt for a regular school backpack, just remember to organize all of the things that are going into your 72 hour kit in ziplock bags to protect them from water.
